Madrid

Madrid is a city that blends royal grandeur, artistic brilliance, and local charm in a way few other cities can. With our private tours, you’ll get a deeper, more personal look at everything that makes Madrid unforgettable—from the halls of the Royal Palace to tucked-away tapas bars and neighborhood markets. No rushing, no crowds—just authentic experiences, at your own pace, with expert local guidance.

Madrid is home to some of Spain’s most iconic landmarks, and a private tour ensures you experience them with depth and ease. Visit the Royal Palace, Plaza Mayor, and the world-famous Prado Museum with skip-the-line access and rich storytelling from your guide. Walk through Retiro Park, enjoy views from Gran Vía, and take in the elegance of Puerta del Sol.

Beyond the icons, your private guide will reveal local gems—quiet plazas, historical convents, and artisan shops that most tourists miss.

Madrid’s culture is a vibrant mix of old-world tradition and contemporary energy. On our cultural tours, stroll through the Austrias district where Madrid’s royal past comes to life, or discover Lavapiés, where diversity and street art thrive. Learn about Madrid’s festivals, literary cafés, flamenco roots, and the Habsburg influence on architecture and city life.

Whether it's a visit to a lesser-known museum or attending a local celebration, our private tours give you a richer connection to Madrid’s cultural heartbeat.
 

Food is at the center of Madrid’s lifestyle—and our private gastronomic tours let you experience it like a local. Start your day at a bustling market like Mercado de San Miguel, sample authentic tapas, or join a hands-on cooking class with a Spanish chef.

Want to sip fine wines? We'll take you to local wine bars or arrange an exclusive tasting of Castilian or Ribera del Duero wines. From jamón ibérico and churros with chocolate to avant-garde cuisine, every bite tells a story—and your guide makes sure it’s one you’ll remember.
